Hello everybody and welcome! We bring you our first playoff edition of NHL DFS on PrizePicks and that means our friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props site where you can choose to select plays in terms of fantasy points or single stats. The goal is to build a 2-player, 3-player, 4-player, or 5-player entry and then select whether or not you want to play for the power play or the flex play. On the power play, you will need to be correct on each of your selections to win, and on the flex play, you will have a little more wiggle room for a chance to win some money back.
Our partners at PrizePicks offer some of the best, and easiest to win, NHL DFS games in the industry. There are no large-field tournaments filled with sharks where you have to get lucky just to place. At PrizePicks, you're not playing against other people, you're just playing against the projections, and the guys at PrizePicks have worked hard to give you really attractive opportunities to make some money. With promo code 'BALLER' you can get a 100% match on your deposit up to $100.
PrizePicks has two types of games. The first type of game is known as Fantasy Score. This game consists of selecting various players and trying to determine if they will go over or under their projected fantasy points in a game. The second game is known as Single Stat. For NHL, Single Stat consists of save and shooter shot props in which you determine if the goalie or shooter in question will go over or under their projected save and shot total respectively. You can mix and match players from each type of game in your entry or select all of your plays from the same type of game. Once you have selected your players and props, you can choose the aforementioned flex play or power play option. For today's article, we are going to try and focus on the main board's Fantasy Score and see which players may go over or under their projected point totals. Let's see what the board offers today!

Fantasy Score Point Totals
Bryan Rust Over 2.9 Points. Rust has cooled off a little bit but with Sidney Crosby feeding the puck to him on Tuesday night, the idea is the winger could easily score a goal. Pittsburgh was able to up the tempo but just could not score that extra goal in the second period in Game 1. That came back to haunt them but Rust and Crosby generated quite a few quality scoring chances. Rust had four shots in all. One could try to stack Crosby and Rust as part of a prop possibility. Pittsburgh could easily score three or more goals again in Game 2 against the New York Islanders.
Aleksander Barkov Over 3.5 Points. Tuesday night features Game 2 of the "Battle Of Florida". If it is anything like Game 1 on Sunday then lookout. The top line for Florida was all over the place as the center had a goal, assist, and five shots on goal. This series feels like a high-scoring, high-octane best of seven. This bodes well for the over on many scoring props and Barkov's number is particularly low given his typical shot volume. He averaged 1.16 points per game on the regular season. The math alone suggests that he could top five PrizePicks points here even.
Max Pacioretty Under 4.4 Points. This could be dicey especially if Pacioretty can play and plays well on Tuesday in Game 2 against the Minnesota Wild. If the left-winger cannot play, then it may be wise to gamble on the Mark Stone over 3.5 points. Stone will be forced to create more offense and the feeling is he gets at least an assist. Minnesota shut out Vegas once and the feeling is that Tuesday night will be a little different. Does that translate into a ton of offense? Maybe not. However, there should be a couple of more goals at least. It is a sort of zig-zag rationale, like with betting, but with props as well.
Kirill Kaprizov Under 4 Points. This is an awfully rough prop to gauge but Kaprizov did not look out of place in Game 1. He also had three shots on goal and a couple of scoring chances. That is the danger here. It would just take a goal and two shots to push. Given his average of almost three shots a game, the over would become more likely. However, Vegas was able to keep most of his rushes to the perimeter. Marc-Andre Fleury was able to stop the other chances. In theory, Vegas is the best defense in the league and should be able to keep goals to a minimum. They averaged just 2.18 goals per game allowed during the regular season. The numbers are somewhat on our side. Take the under and sweat heavily.
